Tuesday, Look at the time....

This corner self was completely obscured by long trailing plants.
     I think I need my husband here to be accountable. I have just noticed with him gone I spend a great deal of time doing nothing.  Or I should say getting nothing done.  I had to absolutely force myself to get any sewing done yesterday and I did the minimum I could get away with.  I also did not get the kitchen or front room done.  Don't really know what I did, well I do but as usual it was not on the list, because why would I do that? I swear I am the only person I know that can create work.

     So one of the things that has been nagging me which I should have put on the side bar, was cleaning the plant shelves in the dining room. I needed to upsize many of the plant containers as things were getting root bound and plants were getting too leggy, they needed haircuts. Now I had picked up three larger white pots at second hand stores, and I had a bag of good potting soil, so what does Kim do? She creates a huge mess on the back porch and gets all her pots transplanted.  Well it did need to be done, but the vacuum cleaner sits in the middle of the front room with all the furniture around it.

     I also figured  when I swept the kitchen floor and took up all the rugs and chairs that cleaning the floor was a mute point if I just turned around and cleaned the fridge and dripped crap all over going back and forth from fridge to sink.  So that was my excuse to not finish floor.  But what was my excuse to go and binge watch netflix?  



I scrubbed the trays and the shelf and got into the nooks and crannies of the window.  It looks very neat and trim now. The two hours I spent doing this I could have completed the frontroom and kitchen.  Oh well this is done and that is nice, except wait.....













Yes, here is the mess I created that now has to be cleaned up.  Have I done it yet,
NO!


I also pulled the rugs out of the kitchen a front room to soak in carpet cleaner and spray down.  Look at the piles of trimmings and dirt, now I have this mess to look forward to.  Oh goody add that to the list of things Kim will not want to get done.



Roscoe loves the hose and he helped me spray the rugs.  There is a larger one hanging over the fence that you can't see.  So Kim has done two things that needed done but were not on any lists.  What can't I stick to the list?  Huh?  Why?
This poor plant needed new shoes desperately. Oh look the kitchen has not been finished.  A project for another life time I swear.



So now I have to actually get into my shop and get something done and it is 1:32.  I can waste time better than anyone I know.

I would make a list but I know if I do I will just go find something else that is not on the list and create a mess. Be sides there is over an hour left on the Netflix series I was watching and that just might have to come first.:)








Have a great and productive day staying positive  while you (being bad) are in the negative.

Kim

  1. That's a lot of plants! You're bringing the outside in, but you had to take some of it back outside for updating, to keep it healthy inside. Just thinking about the process is something I'd put on a list.

    1. I love to grow things, like mold in my fridge which still isn't clean. I found a penny yesterday!

  2. I don't think you should ever beat yourself up for enjoying solitude. When I have the house to myself, it's hard for me to get much accomplished while I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. I figure the hordes will come crashing in soon enough.

    1. Oh I remember those days, the girls, the boy friends, the huge Sunday dinners that no one ever missed. The mess, the laundry.... it will be over before you know it!

  3. I think you did get lots done ✅
    I know the plants are happy for bigger pots and the trimmings.
    You are ALWAYS so busy, maybe you need that downtime with Netflix. I’m positive that any dirt waiting to be vacuumed will keep waiting for you.

    1. Well Hub's was gone so I could eat cold cereal and now that he is home I still have not finished the front room or cleaned the kitchen floor.

  6. Hubby is away right now, I texted him a list of what I got done yesterday... nothing that was on the "to do list" I made before he left. LOL He said it's because I did what I WANTED to get done but didn't feel I should do when he was here and as long as I EAT (yeah real bad habit of not eating) and didn't wear myself out doing what ever I do , it was okay... so that means it's okay for you also... except the sewing... you might not want to put a lot of pressure of getting it done in that area.

    1. I forget to eat also. I get busy and it is just not important to me. But I could still stand to lose a few pounds. Dang those donuts. Don't work too hard says the pot to the kettle.

  7. You are so productive all of the time. You need no permission to binge watch Netflix! When Hubby would go out of town, the kids and I would play and have a great time.
